Interesting enough read...I bought the second to see what happens. I wasn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t in love with the writing style and modern day comparisons used in her writing. I listened to a portion of the audio for this book and maybe it ruined it for me! I had a hard time imagining drake and he\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'d feelings for him weren\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t nearly the painted picture we got for the barbarian :)
